Our corporate training business uses an Open Source LMS called Moodle for all of our teaching, and we are seeing that proprietary SCORM content is expensive, outdated and un-engaging to users.

I wonder if anyone has any thoughs on how commercial products eg Books24x7 might fare in this new world? A fascinating report!
